Gladiators, Are you ready ?

[Mad Doug Biker]

As it's been going 14 years I suspect they have, although I find a sense of irony in you getting upset about 'The Dark Destroyer' when the previous sentence was 'The Black guy is called'

I wasn't upset, merely pointing out that these things persist, even now.

Also, given the context, why not say

'The black guy'?

... He IS... And I can't remember his name (Shaun?)
What other term should I use? The 'man of colour'? 'The coloured guy'?... 'The man of recent African origin'?

I am all for equality and all the rest, but it does get taken to ridiculous levels if it is over - thought, which seems to be de - rigueur these days.

But it was you who made the comment so I'm now confused?

Doesn't matter so long as you don't mis-gender them. Now that would set the cat among the pigeons.

But you are the one making a fuss about it - I can make a general observation without it actually meaning very much... I know the 'Wokeratti' find this hard to believe, but I did not say anything with any alterior motives. 🙄

Just out and say what you are trying to say!

I'm just commenting on your very ironic & strange post, don't try to turn it around on me, but I'm sure as Shaun Wallace is a barrister of some note, that he wouldn't have signed of on his moniker if he wasn't happy with it.

Shannon Wallace is a barrister? Does Grommit know this?

Isn’t that mis-speciesfying them?

I am sure he wouldn't have and I presume neither would have the Gladiators, hence why I said I hoped they had had a sense of humour and were ok with it.

Merely pointing out, maybe not needed, but I did, so there! 😝😆😆🤷
